For the past 14 or so years, I've had a very close friend. Someone I could talk to, cry to, who would always listen to whatever I had to say. A few days ago, this friend died. She started losing weight and eventually stopped eating and drinking. After many, many years of friendship, I'm sad to announce the death of my cat.
You never really think about how much a pet can become part of the family. My other cat had to be put down the beginning of this year.
I can't remember a time I didn't have a cat. I went a couple days ago and got a new kitten. I would've gotten a slightly older cat, but I want to try to have the cat and my ferret get along.
